tan chui mui, goh tze hui and i used to hang out a little, organize some activities and once made a stupid bet in secondary school (Who won? i think i did. but i don't see any1 paying up!). she lives 2 blocks away from me. we're no longer in touch, but it's good to see that she's receiving recognition for her work! :) She is really talented, and it showed even when we were all young and naive (well, still naive now, but no longer young). she won us a chinese society's magazine regional championship(i'm pretty sure that's not how to translate it, cos it now sounds like american football now), and wrote really enjoyable articles.
i would surely go watch if i were back home. You could see that i'm excited about this because I've used not one, not 2, but THREE exclaimation marks up to this point!
and, I'm gonna add kuantan to my profile. maybe because it's now gonna be a famous birth place of a famous director, but most probably because reading about her, and watching her shorts on youtube.com brought back fond memories about the crazy and stupid and mundane and oh so crude things me and my friends did back home. i think i would like to recognize that.

Hello, Kampung Girl,
This is Mountain Man posting a claim to Tan Chui Mui the Lastest Movie Director to arrive at the highly envied scene. She was my very valued employee for 3 months in the capacity of clerk in the Accts Dept.True, she was intelligent, alert to her surroundings - asking lots & lots of questions about this or that. But never the personal lives of fellow colleagues. Her sparkling eyes convey tenderness and a love for life. I had expected her to do her higher studies in fields such as medicine,engineering .. It was a great surprise when told by her sister (in a Alor Akar bus)that she had enrolled herself in the Multimedia U doing Multimedia arts ! I thought that she was shortchanged by the U Selection Board, well known for placing talented students in the COLD fields of studies.
You are right ! This young girl busting with the vitality of youth will go a long way in the movie arts. I wish her the best .

ahha..but you are misled mountain man. the arts might not be as hot as the hard sciences, yet they can be as valuable and probably more fun.
as long as the young person's talent is developed, eh? ;)
